Harmonizome 3.0

lipoyl(octanoyl) transferase 2 (putative)

This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein that catalyzes the transfer of octanoic acid to lipoate-dependent enzymes such as octanoyl-ACP. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

holocarboxylase synthetase (biotin-(proprionyl-CoA-carboxylase (ATP-hydrolysing)) ligase)

This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the binding of biotin to carboxylases and histones. The protein plays an important role in gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis and branched chain amino acid catabolism. Defects in this gene are the cause of holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]
